I keep a Ziplock in the fridge for beans. I wash, but do not "snap" them before adding the day's haul to the bag. I poke a few holes in the bag with a knife for vapor exchange and if the beans are especially wet, I throw a paper towel in there. After 2-4 days, I've got plenty to go with dinner.

P.S. The longest way I've found to keep lettuce is to wash the whole head, shake it a few times to get out most of the water, and put it in a long tupperware box lined with 2 folded paper towels. The paper towels hold and exchange moisture with the lettuce. I've had lettuce look perfectly fine a MONTH later, but the taste suffered.
